Faith Seeking Understanding Elective

Faith Seeking Understanding: An Introduction to Doctrine is the newest elective course offered in the RZIM Academy. It features 16 new lectures addressing the history, diversity, and importance of the most basic Christian doctrines as they have been understood and developed since the time of Christ. The aim of this course is not to teach or promote particular views on nonessential doctrines, but to explore the depths of the beauty of those things that all Christians accept to be true, and to consider how they should impact our lives and our relationships.

Why does doctrine matter? What is the role of the Holy Spirit? How did we come to believe that Jesus was fully human and fully divine? Why do we have the sacraments like baptism and the Lord’s supper? These questions will be addressed in the lectures, discussed in the forums and applied, as with all of our courses, in the practical assignments.

As with all the elective courses, Faith Seeking Understanding is available only to those who have successfully completed the Core Module.
